ENGR 203 – Applied Statics & Strength Mat (4)
Prerequisite: Math 104 or Math 114. This course develops the procedures and methodology necessary for studying the effects that forces produce on structural and mechanical systems and effectively determining the strength of materials required to safely resist these forces. Topics include the study of friction, motion, forces and the effects of forces on the structural and mechanical systems on which they act; centroids and moment of inertia; concepts of stress and strain; torsion; the analysis of forces in pressure vessel design, bolted and welded joints, and structural beam design; and reaction of materials to temperature, unusual environments and mechanical loading.
